Chapter Two
It was a really quiet drive, no one talked, or no one can think of anything to talk about. The guys decided that they are going to drop AJ off at McDonald's, and get the food then meet them at the hospital. So AJ took everyone's order as he wrote it down on a piece of paper.

He took a deep breath and said, "If by any chance I get stamp over by the fans, I want all of you to know that deep within my heart, I blame you!" The boys shrugged at his comment while AJ got out the car and walked into the crowded McDonald’s.

"How about I just go home?" I suggested again, thinking what if AJ did get recognized...it’s hard to miss him with his tattoos and glasses. But everyone disagreed at the same time, Kevin promised me that AJ would be fine as he took out his cell phone and called his bodyguards to wait for AJ outside.

It didn’t take us long to get the hospital, Brian seems to know all the shortcuts. The doctor announced that she’s fine, the bruise was from the fall to the ground. Since everything was all right, Brian decided that he should go home and get some sleep since they’ve been up since four; Kevin agreed as the two cousins headed home.

*~*

Finally, it was AJ's turn, he had been waiting in line for 15 minutes, and he still hadn’t been recognized yet. “Weird.” AJ thought, he felt disappointed when no one recognized him, he loved being the center of attentions.

“May I help the next in line?” The young waitress asked, cutting off AJ’s train of thoughts. AJ stepped forward. "How may I help you today sir?"

AJ quickly said the orders, then waited with patience, which he didn’t have after waiting, for the waitress to give his food and change.

“AJ!” all the girls screamed, their high-pitch voices seemed to be able to take the whole restaurant down! The sea of fan almost drown AJ, he just ran out the door and ran for his dear life!

But the waitress didn’t forget him, she grabbed the food and the change. She rushed out the back door then started looking for her missing customer. "Gotcha" she thought as she found AJ getting into a car. "Wait!" She yelled, AJ turned around and saw a McDonald waitress running towards him along with a couple hundreds of screaming fans followed closely! AJ didn't have much time to think; he pulled the woman in the car with him as the car sped off.

“That was close." AJ said, catching his breath.

“Yep.” The girl replied. AJ finally realizes that there's someone sitting next to him, AJ looked at her closely for the first time, she had long brown hair, golden highlights and shining brown eyes with a tint of yellow. He then looked at the nametag on her uniform, it says ‘Steph’

"Un...here’s your food." Steph said shyly because AJ stared at her non-stop ever since she got in the car.

"What?" AJ asked, he was lost in her beautiful eyes.

"Your food!" She repeated; a hint of annoyance in her voice.

"Oh thanks." AJ took the bags, feeling a little embarrassed.

"That was interesting, I didn't know AJ McLean blushes." Steph said sarcastically as AJ shoved a fry in his mouth.

"Well, I didn't know that either. And I’m not AJ McLean, the name is Johnny." AJ said mysteriously.

“Johnny as in Johnny NoName?” Steph asked.

“Yeah...you’ve been to his concert?” AJ replied, feeling a little strange referring himself in third person.

“Front row...but I doubt if he remembered me, I was the one that threw the bone shape necklace on the stage and hit his forehead.”

“That was you?”

“That was me! And proud of it!”

“But it hurt!” AJ exclaimed.

“I thought you weren’t there, I was talking about ‘Johnny’.” Steph giggled.

“You are a sneaky little person!”

“And you’ve just figured that out?” She gave him a look, AJ couldn’t hold back his laughter anymore. After a moment of good laughs, AJ circled his arms around her shoulders as she lay her head on his chest.

“Do you want to go to dinner tonight?”

“Can you give me one good reason why I should say no?”

“No.” AJ smiled back.
